Internal Ambassadors
Mental Health First Aid Practitioners Within Your Organization
More than just providing motivation and practical pro active mental well-being techniques, Mark Joe has created an on-going solution to grow internal mental wellness ambassadors within your organisation through a SETA and Health Professions Council SA accredited learning platform.
Delegates attend a 14 week group training with live teach back evaluation. The home practices are monitored by Insight Timer app to ensure the 200 hour practice part of the accreditation.
Once qualified, ambassadors then are introduced to the wider organization, often guided by Mark and in many cases co-facilitate with him and his team to encourage confidence. Mark monitors individual progress and team guidance of the extended 'Grow Learning' sessions.
These sessions are to provide fresh content to ambassadors for them to use in their offerings to the wider organization.
Many ambassadors go on to become an integral part of the wellness and HR team and provide a bridge between 'holding safe spaces' and the existing Employee Assisted Programs (EAP).
​
Delegates are required to complete Psychological Well-being assessment forms at the start of the journey with a repeat assessment on completing the program. Our research shows that 95% of delegates improve in many mental wellness indicators.
​
Co-facilitating with Mark, many ambassadors have created 'Safe Spaces Sessions', weekly 1 hour online meetings for their teams and business units where attendees are encouraged to share their stories around the topics provided. These spaces also allow us to identify future champions within the organization who have what it takes to become a mental health first aider.
